Stylish Rank

Stylish Rank are measurements of how "Stylish" the player's combat is, and is represented in the Stylish Rank Gauge. It is graded on a letter system, and it raises as the player uses a continuous stream of varying or difficult techniques. Once the Gauge fills for each letter, it rises to the next one. However, if the player is damaged, the Stylish Rank will drop a few grades or even reset. The Stylish Rank at the time of an enemy's death determines how many Red Orbs they will relinquish, and it is a main component of the final mission score. This system is also used for the Combat Adjudicators, which will not break until a certain rank of stylish combat has been achieved against them. The full names for each grade vary between the games.
